lion of the Mayor is to have settled for once

be referred to the Committee on General

Strauss took the ground that the matter
should be disposed of Immediately
Mr.. Strauss offered q resolution embody-
ing his views in the matter, which the Presi-
dent was about 10 declare adopted by ezra
cocs vote, but the former, before the chair
announced its decision, called for division,
when it was found that there were three
ties for the resolution to two against it.
The rule requiring FIVE affirmative votes to
adopt d resolution on the night of its. intro
duction was then read, and the resolution
declared lost.
motion to refer the matter to the Com
nittee on General Laws was then made, but
also lost, though after further debate, g con-
sentative feeling seeming to prevail, it was
finally referred to that committee and the
board adjourned.
There was no meeting of the Common
Council no quorum appearing in that

ELDER BAKERS LOT.
Happy With His Wives and a Sit In a
Bowery Museum.
1l.om the Non York SIN

FrOm the NejC York Star
Elder Joshua Baker, with three wives
and eight children, fresh from Cache Val
ley, Idaho, is now sharing the honors of the
Globe Dime Museum, on tie Bowery, with
the murdered Railway girl in wax and
Casper Strombach in PAPER mache. The
elder is a bony, awkward man with
wrinllled features, scanty beard and
touzled hair. The dry winds of Cache have
given him the appearance of a man who
would burn up very quickly if touched off
with match His face is of the pinched
Southern type common up in the hills Its
expression is Shrewd and kindly.
Mr.. Baker was dressed in an alpaca coat.
paper collar, black cravat, jeans shirt and
rough trousers. He and his family are now
getting three square meals day Tho Mrs.
Bakers are not handsome, but they look
very useful The children are of various
ages, and are having lots of fun scamper-
perlng about the museum floor All of
them, with their mothers, are dressed in
cheap stutfS. Taken altogether it seems to
bc happy family. A plump woman in a
| blue print dress who plays the piano on the

his household in his words.

HER BANK ACCOUNT.
Pretty Lena Kerner Swindled by Her
Sweetheart.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Chief of Detectives Hazen had a caller
yesterday morning in the person of very
pretty, well-dressed woman, who gave her
name as Lena Kerner She had been living
in a family on Pleasant street, ana it was to
report contemplate swindle that brought
her to police headquarters The chief of
the detectives was impressed with her APP
pearance and manners and took great in
terest in the story she told. Miss
Lena is probably 20 years of age,
and while walking on Sixth street a few
months since met wcll-appearing young
man. Her good looks and graceful bearing
attracted his attention, and when he polite
ly asked the pleasure of carrying her mar
ket basket, She had not the heart to refuse.
This chance acquaintance was productive
of many meetings. The young mans afRec-
tons seemed inextricably tangled in the
tlaxen locks that so nicely matched Miss
Lena's pretty blue eyes He gave his name
as Charles Witzenbacher, and one day as
they were promenading along Fifth street
he pointed out store and said it belonged
TO him. Finally he proposed marriage
Miss Lena coyly gave her consent, and July
was selected as the nuptial day. A few
days
AFTER THIS BETROTHAL
